Cathedral Length Veil

Perhaps the most dramatic and popular of all veils, the cathedral length
veil flows to the floor in true fairytale fashion. The most formal of
all veils, the cathedral veil extends several yards from the headpiece
and is typically worn with a wedding dress that has a cathedral-length
train. You will feel like royalty in a fabulous veil from

Cathedral veils are very long and usually
narrow, creating an elongated silhouette for the bride. Typically,
longer veils are worn for more formal weddings. A cathedral veil may
not be as practical an option for a less formal ceremony located in an
informal outdoor setting such as a woodsy or beachside venue.

Another
aspect to consider when choosing your veil length is how long you
intend to wear the veil. When choosing your veil, remember that a
cathedral veil will drag on the floor behind you as you walk. While a
cathedral length veil may be beautiful and elegant during the wedding
ceremony, it may cramp your style at the wedding reception.

Unless
you plan to wear your cathedral veil only for the wedding ceremony, you
may want to consider purchasing another, shorter veil for wear after
the ceremony. Otherwise, you might also want to consider waiting until
after the first dance to remove your cathedral veil to ensure it appears
in your most important photos.

Once you have decided on a
cathedral veil, it’s time to choose the perfect edging or trim that will
create the right look for your bridal gown. A ribbon or corded trim
will provide a very finished look for your formal wedding dress.
However, if you are looking for a unique contemporary style, you might
try a cathedral veil with a plain cut edge. While the cathedral veil is
usually best for a formal wedding, don’t be afraid to pair it with a
simpler gown for a playful look.

For that simple gown with few
embellishments, adding accents to your cathedral veil can really glam up
your look. Accents can be easily added to any veil for that extra
touch of glamour. Choose from Pearls, Triple Pearl Clusters, Mini
Rhinestones, Rhinestones or Swarovski Crystals, or mix and match for a
more personalized look. A multi-tiered cathedral veil is a must if you
plan to wear a veil over your face during any part of the wedding
ceremony. For two tier veils, accents are scattered all over the top
tier and the bottom half of the second tier.

Each of our fabulous
cathedral veils is fastened with a tulle-wrapped metal comb that makes
it easy to secure to any hairstyle. Choose a cathedral veil in white,
diamond white or ivory to add a touch of tradition and grace to your
wedding ensemble. Be sure to check out our complete veil style guide
